Boards that use the STM32F{4,7} series have limited amounts of RAM. The
added property allows to size, within certain limits, the memory footprint
required by the framebuffer.

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/dt-review-ci/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/st,stm32-ltdc.yaml: properties:st,fb-bpp:maxItems: False schema does not allow 1
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/core.yaml#

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/devicetree-bindings/patch/20230619165525.1035243-5-dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Hey,

Hmm, this sounds quite a lot like "software policy", since the actual
display doesn't have these limitations. Rob, Krzysztof?

Really?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=dfn:st,stm32-ltdc.yaml%20

You sure this shouldn't be "new in v4"?

Is there not a more understandable property name than this?
Maybe I just had to think about it because fbdev stuff aint something
I've worked with...

Why not make it an enum, since there are only 4 values?

Cheers,
Conor.

Indeed. This doesn't belong in DT.
